Schools can’t afford to lose teachers of color. And with public schools struggling to fill teacher vacancies with qualified educators, district and school leaders can’t afford to lose any more teachers,period. Today, less than one in five teachers identify as Black, Hispanic or Asian American amidst an increasingly diverse student population.
